Jumbo Star Quilt Top

I became a little obsessed with this quilt top over the past two days and just finished piecing the star! I admit to being a total quilt dork, but I was so excited when everything matched up. I pieced all the white border triangles and squares as complete pieces requiring partial seams for each piece. I was almost giddy when everything was smooth and laid nice and flat.

The current size is about 70". I'm now considering borders. I'm thinking of adding a skinny 1/2" solid border in the blue, yellow or a green I have that coordinates. Then I'd add an additional thick white border. I haven't done much else during my free time over the past two days. Now that the star is pieced together, I can let it sit for a bit while I consider the best choice for a border. I should probably go clean my house now...
